> Google's existence has spawned a horde of SEO spam sites that dilute and push down real content on the internet

They don't push real content "down the internet" they push it down the google rankings.

And while Google search is not as great as it was, it remains a strong contender for the best way to find stuff on the internet.

I don't think the internet would be better off without it.

You can however make good arguments for Google News, "Instant Answers" in Search, and other products, taking (impressions) from the internet.(And Chrome, Chrome worries me.)

From experience, many people can truly not tell the difference.
